I am currently reading through the Psalms which is a collection of songs written primarily by king David followed by other writers. The Psalms are also a compilation of five books broken down as follows: Book 1 consisting of Psalms 1-41; Book 2 consisting of Psalms 42-72; Book 3 consisting of Psalms 73-89; Book 4Continue reading “The Salvation of the LORD”

Waiting “quietly”
There are too many references in the Bible about waiting on the LORD. I myself have written a lot on this particular topic. One reason I believe the Bible exhorts us extensively on the subject of waiting is because the life of the believer is comprised mainly of waiting. We are not unique in ourContinue reading “Waiting “quietly””
Walking in Power
When you read about the life of Jesus, it seems so common, so monotonous, banal even and it is easy to miss what he was showing us. This week I spent a few times in the book of John, the miracles Jesus did and how he spoke were so simple and plain yet commanded soContinue reading “Walking in Power”
The Glory of God
Just mentioning the subject of the glory of God, I feel an inadequacy and humility as I know it not to be a simple matter. I have often heard pastors and worship leaders, mostly in the charismatic stream refer to the glory of God as a powerful “weighty” force if there is a way toContinue reading “The Glory of God”
Know the LORD is LORD
Throughout the Bible and specifically in the prophetic books including the Psalms, there is a statement from the LORD that is repeated several times: “Then you will know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 25:7), or “They will know that I am the LORD…” (Ezekiel 25:17). The book of Ezekiel certainly did not escape thisContinue reading “Know the LORD is LORD”
In Ending Jeremiah
The book of Jeremiah ends with a succession of judgement prophecies on Israel’s enemies’ nations (see chapters forty-six through fifty-one). The LORD in His justice will not let the guilty go unpunished nor the sins of the guilty unaccounted for. In enacting His judgement, the LORD started first with His people and then moved toContinue reading “In Ending Jeremiah”
Hardened Hearts
Love is one of the main attributes of God displayed in the Bible. It is impossible to read the Bible without seeing countless upon countless examples of the love of God. Theologians have often coined the Bible as a love story between God and his people. Indeed, one of the most popular verses in theContinue reading “Hardened Hearts”
Working out your salvation
One of the qualities that are unique to God is that He does wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure (Isaiah 25:1). Indeed, He is the only God who announces what He will do before He does what He says He will do. Moreover, when what He announces comes to pass, it stillContinue reading “Working out your salvation”
Boasting in the Flesh
The way of the LORD is sure to make one pause and question oneself because it is often contrary, if not always to human logic or rationale. Many of the prophets in the Bible had to do things that were non sensical to our intelligent brains. Indeed, to the LORD, the wisdom of this worldContinue reading “Boasting in the Flesh”
The Corruption of Sin
The book of Jeremiah, in addition to being a prophetic book is a book that displays the corruption that lies in man. In this book, we see the deceitfulness of man and the love of pleasure that slowly and surely brings him into destruction. The love of the world and self is made apparent inContinue reading “The Corruption of Sin”
